That's nice, but at the same time, while an investor can wait 20 years for a startup they've invested in to succeed, is it reasonable to expect a human being to invest 20 years into a startup that doesn't look like it's succeeding?

The trick lies in being able to tell when something will never work. Sometimes the light at the end of a tunnel is an oncoming train. And no amount of patience will help a buggy-whip company when Henry Ford comes knocking.
